STV Jobs launches mobile optimised job seeking website

STV Jobs has announced the intro­duc­tion of a new mobile site ded­i­cat­ed to mak­ing job hunt­ing a faster and eas­i­er experience.

Job seek­ers with inter­net enabled mobile phones can now enjoy full access to STV Jobs via their hand­set. The site has been designed to allow job seek­ers to quick­ly and eas­i­ly search for the lat­est job oppor­tu­ni­ties whilst on the move. Job seek­ers can search by job title, loca­tion and salary band and apply for jobs direct­ly from the web­site using their pre­vi­ous­ly cre­at­ed pro­file and stored CV. If they don’t have time to apply at the time, users can email them­selves the full job detail and apply at a lat­er date.

The mobile site is designed to auto­mat­i­cal­ly iden­ti­fy what type of mobile device is being used and instant­ly show the best for­mat for that par­tic­u­lar mod­el. It fea­tures an ele­gant design built for speed, even on the slow­est connection.

The num­ber of users access­ing the STV Jobs web­site via mobile devices has increased sub­stan­tial­ly, with ana­lyt­ics show­ing a rise of 50% between the first and sec­ond half of 2010. It is expect­ed that this will increase fur­ther with the intro­duc­tion of the new mobile site.

Mike Fer­gu­son, Head of Clas­si­fied at STV, explained: ​“The STV Jobs mobile site has been devel­oped as part of our com­mit­ment to mobile tech­nol­o­gy and the STV Any­where strat­e­gy, striv­ing to make STV’s con­tent avail­able to our audi­ence any­time, any­where. We are delight­ed to be able to offer job seek­ers an alter­na­tive way of access­ing STV Jobs on the move.”

The mobile site has been devel­oped for STV by job board spe­cial­ists Madgex. Simon Con­roy, CEO of Madgex, com­ment­ed: ​“The mobile inter­face allows job seek­ers to search or browse for jobs based on var­i­ous search cri­te­ria such as sec­tor, loca­tion and salary band. Once the user has found a rel­e­vant job they can view the job details and apply direct­ly from their hand­set. When apply­ing for a job on the mobile site, users will sim­ply need to enter their email address and pass­word to com­plete their application.”

This lat­est launch is part of STV Jobs con­tin­ued com­mit­ment to pro­vid­ing job seek­ers with all the tools they need to find their next career move. Over the last 6 months STV jobs has also launched CV Mag­net an advanced CV search and match tool ful­ly inte­grat­ed with STV Jobs job board and a push noti­fi­ca­tion iPhone app.
